Epidermal growth factor (EGF), a member of the EGF family of proteins, plays a significant role in regulating cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, development, and tissue homeostasis. It is an essential growth factor in many stem cells and organoid culture media.
In cell culture, mouse EGF is crucial for stem cell maintenance, proliferation, differentiation, organoid culture growth and survival. It is also widely used for disease modelling, drug screening, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Overall, EGF is a key player in cellular regulation and functions.
Mouse EGF is a high purity protein with a molecular weight of 6.1 kDa, animal origin-free, carrier-free and tag-free to ensure its purity with exceptional lot-to-lot consistency. Qkine mouse EGF is suitable for the culture of reproducible and high-quality stem cells and various tissue-specific organoids.
